Customer Relations Representative - State Farm Agent Team Member
Full Time • Grand Rapids, MI
Responsive recruiter
About the Agency & Agent:
How would you like a job with paid vacation, an employer matching 401K plan (with your choice of a ROTH or traditional), a nice base salary, weekends off, and the ability to go SKY HIGH with your earnings? How about working in an office with regular incentives and contests that keep things fresh, and an encouraging and humorous office culture? If you've a mind to someday own your own office, you'll find the support you need to join our aspirant program and progress through the system to a place where that can happen for you. There aren't many places you can go to work as a salesman where you'd be encouraged by the owner to call in and ask random team members how much they enjoy working there, but I'm entirely confident you'll get some great responses should you choose to do that with my team before you put in your application.
Let me share a little bit about myself, first I am a proud dad to six beautiful kids and husband for 22 years to a wife whom I adore. My wife works alongside me, part-time, as the head over my service team, and my oldest son works now as one of my salesmen. My family is involved in the community and attends church on the NE side of Grand Rapids. We are passionate about foster care and adoption. We’ve fostered over ten kids in the last ten years and in the process, we were blessed with three boys to adopt! (Adoption blesses both the kids and the families they are a part of.)
My career background, before I became the owner of two State Farm offices, was in banking and finance. I've always loved helping people with investing and planning for retirement, and I'm a Chartered Financial Consultant. The unexpected passing of a dear friend, and the crisis that occurred because of inadequate life insurance is really what propelled me into the insurance industry and gave me a passion to make sure that people take life insurance seriously.
